Are you the same guy I was trying to help on Reddit? I clearly said you can't do this. It won't work. You had 7 burnt fuses. You can't go back to 5.1 as that only has 6 fuses burnt. I even said make another nand backup before doing anything. Now theres nothing you can do...

I think it is possible to upgrade by other means back to 6.2 ... but wait for other answers that can confirm this or help with more details

Hi Vastrolorde,
Out of desperation I guess haha. Basically what I did was:

1.) Boot into RCM (the most difficult part for me as I do not have a proper jig)
2.) Did another restore from my clean 5.1.0 backup (BOOT0/1 and rawnand)
3.) Formatted my microSD to FAT32 and added Choidujour (As Im being prompted for an update)
4.) Launched CFW via Hekate (I'm using Atmosphere)
5.) Added Exfat support by installingg 5.1.0 NCAs using Choudjour (I also updated to 6.1.0 since I'm already in there)
6.) Reboot to RCM
7.) Formatted the microSD back to exfat, re-extracted the sdfiles again
8.) Launch CFW then I've managed to bring my switch back alive again and currently running FW 6.1.0

Although I've already burnt out all of my fuses and there still the sleep mode crash issue due to fuses, switch is still operable and I'm currently playing my games right now :)

Can you or someone else explain step 5? I need to get exFat support!!

Yes, but you should still be able to boot into CFW on older FW even if you have burnt fuses.
